IN RE VENKY VENKATRAMAN, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 254th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF04-11968
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang, and Justice Brown
Opinion by Justice Brown
In this petition for writ of mandamus relator requests that we order the trial court to vacate its March 25, 2016 order compelling discovery and awarding real party in interest attorney's fees. Relator's petition for writ of mandamus does not comply with the rules of appellate procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(j), 52.7(a)(1), 52.7(a)(2). Although these deficiencies alone constitute sufficient reason to deny mandamus relief, in the interest of judicial economy we address the petition.
Ordinarily, to be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). We cannot conclude that relator has demonstrated that he is entitled to relief.
We deny the petition.
